RIO DE JANEIRO -- Petrobras has finished drilling well 3-BRSA-1296-SES, in concession BM-SEAL-10, Block SEAL-M-499, in the ultra-deep waters of the Sergipe basin.
The test results confirmed the presence of light oil and good conditions of reservoirs porosity and permeability. Two light oil intervals with 24 m of total thickness were reported.
The well is located 94 km off Aracaju, 10 km from the discovery well, in 2,988 m of water. According to Petrobras, such a water depth represents a new record for maritime well drilling in the Brazilian offshore.
